What a great event it was for
BlackTrax Performance. They had 4 cars representing: Liam and Graham
Downey from Team
Redstone Motorsports H2, Brandon
Kraus from Roger
Kraus Racing H1, Andrew Leach
TT and Jim
Markarian HPDE.
This was Brandon
Kraus' 1st shakedown weekend. He won 1st on Saturday against
Prima Racing's Andrie Hartanto. On Sunday there was another great race between the two of them. Unfortunately Brandon did not finish due to an oil pressure gauge problem which led him to pit. All in all it was a successful weekend for Brandon as he hit a 2:00.1 lap time, just about 1-2 seconds shy from his personal best with his original 4
th gen Prelude. With the help of
Andrie lending Brandon higher rate springs, Brandon was able to shave off another second off his lap time. We have high hopes that once this Prelude it gets dialed in, it will be a strong competitor against the K series engines in H1.
With the new addition of a adjustable wing, Andrew found was able to settle the rear of the car down but logged a slower lap time when he installed the front splitter. Removing he splitter, Andrew did his personal best of 2:06 in
TT in his ~200hp full bodied 5
th gen Prelude.
Jim
Markarian had us set him with with Wicked Tuning front
pillowball LCA's, new wheel size and offset with
Enkei RPF1's and new
Toyo R888's. Graham
Downey and Jim took turns shaking down the car. "that car handle's great now" says Graham
Downey.
